Road of the Dead HD REMAKE for STEAM?

9/2/2013

So with Road of the Dead 2 out and great feedback from the community and an obvious feeling that Flash is holding back our games, we're really considering doing a Kickstarter to redo Road 1 and 2 into a bundle made in Unity3D, with all new high definition graphics, high quality sound and music, not the compressed crap we have to deal with in flash games and an actual 3D road with a texture and side rails that don't look like grey squares.

The end result would be a high definition, high performance, PC version of both games, available on Steam and playable in full screen with the keyboard and mouse or even a gamepad.

What do you guys think? Is that something you'd back up?
Stretch goals would include new zombies, new game modes, coop MP, etc

Tell us what you think :)

I, for one, would be fully in support of, and emphatic about, such an idea. Your games are so very impressive and to see them rendered on the "big screen", so to speak, would be really god damn impressive! Keep your fans updated on this!

Sorry for my poor English, because I'm Japanese.
I love Saga of the Dead. I unlocked all achievements in Road of the Dead 1 and Lab of the Dead. Also, I completed the Hardcore mode in Road of the Dead 2.
ROTD2 is good, but the progressive lag didn't reduce so much on my PC inspite of the updates. Damn Flash Player! I hope less lag in the remake version.

P.S
I can't unlock "Perfect Soldiers" achievement although I fully leveled up the car, perk, guns and both characters.Please fix it!

There would be no lag in the HD version for sure, it would be GPU accelerated like normal games :)

I'd support this as much as I could!
Butttttttttttt
Would you follow suit and do the other Saga of the Dead games in the same style (both previous and yet to come)?
To see the whole thing moved over to HD would be awesome.
Although I quite like flash games, they have a charm which is almost always lost when developers try to move to a more commercial market. Seeing as you guys are running this show yourself and not being absorbed into a bigger company however, I think it would turn out quite well!!

I love the new game. The only thing I could say an hd remake would need is everything the flash games don't have. Basically: Anti-Aliasing, FXAA, Texture Quality, Shadow Quality, Anisotropic Filtering, VSync, etc. etc.

I think this series will become something huge with the right amount of detail and work. These games have many areas to improve on, and I look forward to seeing future games. 11/10 will buy. ;)

Pfff, this friday 13th was the worst day to try to beat the highscore at Dead State, the f*cking masks made it harder.

With no commitment people will tell you all sort of things. You should let their money do the talk instead. That's precisely the beauty of KickStarter, a market indicator so one can see if an idea can fly.

I say you should just start the KS campaign and see if it flies. BUT, when you publish it give it exposure in-game (RotD 1 & 2, all of the saga in fact), for example, after finishing the story mode, or better, when coming back to the menu after any mode. In-game it's the best place to let people know about the campaign, they are not just the ones that read about the games in the internet or just see them listed in NG, AG or whatever, they are the people that freaking play it, the important people you want to reach, and they will have the game fresh in their minds, and more likely to back it up. So not just the blog and the FB page to announce it.

And if it's not just because you want to know if people would want it, but it is a matter of funds, as you are considering leaving Flash, there are more ways you could monetize the games (AFAIK you are monetizing with ads), and perfectly ethical and not pushy, and increasing the bottom line stably before & after the campaign on KS. I mean, you have already done the hard work, you have proven games, an asset hard to get, and best of all totally leverageable. I mean, money is important, right? Lots of awesome stuff happens because of love but also because of or partly by money motivation. From Tchaikovsky to the LoTR movies.

By the way, have you considered that if you go ahead and make something for Steam, shouldn't be better to do something new for everyone? Although an HD remake for the beloved Roads 1 & 2 will be fun, wouldn't be better to do RotD 3? At the pace you have progressed I'm guessing RotD 3 will be amazing, and not only you will end up with a brand new game, but also much of the stuff would already be done to make the remakes easier and faster (although, now that I think about it, the opposite could also be true, depending on your mastery of Unity3D). But please, please.... get better at estimating times, I was expecting RotD 2 since december 2012!

Please, if the idea does fly on its own, then for zombies sake, slap a rocket to that bitch. I want it to skyrocket. Regarding zombies, as in movies, series, comics & games, only a few titles are worthy, and yours is one of those. It should not die (pun intended).
